    Mango mochi
    Marie K.

    Every time I get my mango mochi from here, it tastes awesome. I come here solely for the mango mochi. It's not overly sweet but just perfect. Mango pieces inside are just so yummy. And they are cubed cut perfectly.

    Custard bun and milk tea.

    Sweets Bakery on Walker St. is right off of Canal in Chinatown. It is the place that I go to for Chinese Custard Buns. I've loved them since childhood and their custard buns are among the best. In general, Sweets does a good job with Chinese baked goods. The staff is dressed in uniforms. The baked goods are on shelves with a self-service approach to making food choices, but the staff is attentive in this high traffic part of town to guard against shoplifting. The shop has served the area for a long time. I'm taking off a star because the bakery is finally showing its age and in need of some renovation and cleaning. The custard buns and milk tea, however, are still awesome.

    Convenient Chinatown bakeshop with reasonably priced baked goods. Been getting goodies here for years! Yesterday, I got a large almond cookie and two pineapple buns for $8.50 and they were delicious! Bring cash.

    Got a sweet bean pastry that was just alright. The red bean paste was too dry in texture. Flavor was mildly sweet. I was expecting more from this bakery because there were a lot of people.

    I've been coming here for years. They have a white bun filled with red pork here. We always buy a couple to take home. I tried their coffee and cakes here before. They are all good. The service is good, nothing to complain about. The shop is a decent size and has some chairs and tables where you can sit and have a break from walking in Chinatown. I recommend this. I will keep coming back when I am in Chinatown.

    Bakery was super jam packed on the day of my visit. Most of the cakes and buns already pre-packed and stacked within the display casing. Got an Almond twist bun and a tuna bun. The Tuna bun had a soft warm bread on the outside, but the Tuna filling was not good (not fresh). The almond twist was just alright- had better ones elsewhere. The small cup of coffee was good and quickly removed the fishy taste from the Tuna bun. Overall, just an okay bakery in a Chinatown that's filled with Bakeries block to block

    If you're in the mood for baked goods that are not too overly sweet then Chinatown is the place to go. There are a bunch of little bakeries that have a wide range of quality Chinese pastries like green tea cake, egg custard, red bean buns, etc. Sweets Bakery is a quality spot for all of these items and pretty close to the subway. I've been to Sweets bakery for their egg custard and various buns countless number of items and have been satisfied every item. They even have birthday cakes, which I have not tried yet. Like the majority of bakeries in the area there's not a ton of space to sit around. Nor is it a spot known for ambiance but the service is quick and pastries are good and fairly priced.

    Cash-only bakery in Chinatown with a HUGE selection of baked goods (including savory steamed baos!) and desserts! It was very affordable, and almost all desserts were less than $5, though some fancier ones and mooncakes were pricier. I was absolutely craving the coconut cream buns. My partner and I came on a Saturday night, maybe 15 minutes before their close so the selection was definitely slimmer but managed to nab one of the last coconut buns. We also tried the sesame red bean flavored cookie/cake. The coconut buns did not disappoint. It was rich and the cream was very buttery and heavy, while the buns were soft and just ever so slightly salty and dusted with coconut. It was perfect. The red bean sesame cake/cookie was okay but not my favorite. It wasn't too sweet and felt a bit dry. Service was good, just pay at the counter when you've grabbed your stuff. There's some limited seating as well. There were a ton of other things to try and we'll definitely be back!

    The Custard Bun, it is sweet and one of my favorite pastries to eat here. It's a bread with some sort of sugar powder at top n custard

    CASH ONLY by the way. The price and flavor is good. A few options, not too much of the bread pastry but good enough to choose from. I like that this place is not too popularized where I see friends I know here or people in my industry(occupation). They have seats inside and is never too loud. First photo- coconut cream bun, is sweet with coconut sugar or powder on top with a additional sweetness of cream in the middle. Sweet with bitten and chewing but after swallowne it not too sweet of a after taste. Good balance of suga. Second fav right after the custard bun. About $2 if I recall and no more than 3 Second photo- custard bun is my fav to get here. Simple sweet bread not too sweet with a custard melted masharmellow texture like in the middle. Slight Suga texture on the bread top. About $2 if I recall and no more than 3 I say all the sweets here are not too sweet but some have more suga than others based on what textures you like to eat. 3rd photo-the egg custard tart, is not that sweet at all, if so very slightly with a jello/jelly texture in middle. The other parts are flakey and is messy when bittign, pieces will fall everywhere. The egg filling in middle do feel like Iam bitting into a raw egg but taste good. I don't like raw eggs but this was acceptable. The winter melon cake wasn't sweet at all, if so just alittle bit, close to like just a sweet bread that's plain with nothing added in or on top of it. The winter melon cake has something in the middle and not quite sure what it is, it has almost same texture as outside where when bitten you can't tell your eating the middle filling, it adds a flavor but subtle enough and not sweet. I say it would taste pretty good with milk or some sweet/not so sweet beverage.

    Tuna fish buns, and the egg yolk red bean pastry was not bad. But the egg tart was nasty... worst egg tart I've had in my life.

It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

The peppery, thick bacon and the quite sweet, icing-topped cruller are a beautiful study in contrasts. The egg was nicely runny. I will say that's it's definitely not a good on-the-go sandwich, as it falls apart easily. However, I don't think this is a great spot for coffee. I was a bit underwhelmed by my latte, which tasted more like thin drip coffee than a rich, strong espresso. I also think they could offer more sweetener options.
